Palauea Beach

Highlight • Beach

Palauea Beach, also known as White Rocks Beach, is mostly used by locals, which makes it a chill and less crowded beach, especially on weekdays. The beach's slope is gentle, making it a perfect spot to swim and cool off after a run on a hot day. Moreover, it's an excellent place to snorkel as the lava rocks create a vibrant underwater world, full of colorful marine life, tropical fish, and sea turtles that gather in this area.

Ulua Beach Park

Highlight • Beach

Ulua Beach Park is a 0.25-mile-long sandy beach known for its excellent swimming, boogie boarding, and beginner to intermediate snorkeling opportunities, with the rocky outcrop on the north end of the beach offering some of the best spots. Ulua Beach is more crowded than its neighboring beach to the north. The beach gets its name from a famous Hawaiian game fish and was initially called "Kaula'uo" by locals before World War II. It was renamed "Little Tarawa" by US Marines during their training mission, which is still the name some locals use. Limited parking is available, so plan to come early if you need a space.
